I remember I was sitting in class at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La when this event happen. I could not believe what happened. It was a very somber day and I remembered shedding tears for those who lost there life. It was the day America was attacked like Pearl Harbor. But who was the aggressors is still the question?? They said 19 men boarded the planes and hijacked them with box cutter. Two planes hit the Twin Towers, one hit the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field. Could the government which is for the people and by the people in turn prey on the people? After watching this video it made me think that some one could have planted explosives during Hurricane Katrina and flooded the 9Th ward. You tell me what you think. I also included some statistics so you can get a bigger picture. Am i just a paranoid individual? You tell me what you think.
